Global Warming Activist Freezes to Death in Antarctica

"Apparently, while all of Prof. Schneider's friends were assuming that the July trek would be to Greenland, during Northern Hemisphere summer, his plans were actually to snowmobile to the South Pole - which, in July, is in the dead of winter. Some people do not realize that, even if there has been warming in Antarctica, the average temperature at the South Pole in July still runs about 70 degrees below zero."

A clarification, since some people took this Onion-style article seriously. The linked article in turn links to the original story, which is a satirical article written some years ago. The source website is clearly marked as apocryphal in a disclaimer: "All content on this site, being a mixture of parody, satire, and lame humor, is for entertainment purposes only. If any content is found to be offensive or objectionable in any way, please accept our apologies... but we also suggest that you get a life." I assume Fox must know it is spurious and is presenting it as humor. It obviously can't be a news story since the article says it happened Saturday, and Saturday was in July!

But with Fox, who knows?
